Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackQuantum of Solace was simply not a Bond movie…..The majority of Bond fans go to see a few basic concepts….
1. Gadgets worthy of the best agent on the planet
2. A Bond who is is worldly smart and clever beyond belief
3. A Bond that has a humorous side
4. A Bond that scores with many beautiful woman
5. An opening that is spectacular
QoS failed regarding all of the above. QoS is simply like so many shows you can see every week on TV. The sales numbers will fall off sharply every week. I personally know of 14 people that wanted to attend but after hearing what people said about movie decided not to go….I am only one person…take this across the country and this Bond film will not do anywhere near what it could have financially.
To me it is so simple….just do not understand why the directors and producers just do not get it.
Bondjt
Interesting read. The central theme is to redo the Fleming novels in series. They would have to be updated IMO for it to work. I also think Quantum may be the reboot of SPECTRE.
BTW, QoS does have many essential elements of the Bond franchise, including a scene where Bond and Bond girl are at a party, dressed up, where the villan makes a speech.
Bondjt is SO wrong! QoS is like what Ian Fleming created, Bond as a cold blooded killer. I am sick of people panning QoS due to the fact that there is no humor, or gadgets. Those are NOT what makes a Bond film. It’s Bond that makes the film.
